TL;DR: Salsalate improves glycemia in patients with T2DM and decreases inflammatory mediators and lower circulating leukocyte, neutrophil, and lymphocyte counts show the anti-inflammatory effects of salsalates.

TL;DR: This study suggests that computational efforts to infer association networks that include all forms of microbial life, paired with large-scale culture-based association validation experiments, will help formulate concrete hypotheses about the underlying biological mechanisms of species interactions and, ultimately, help understand microbial communities as a whole.

TL;DR: This study is the first to determine alterations in fungal communities associated with lung dysfunction and/or HIV, highlighting the clinical relevance of these findings.

TL;DR: In bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, specific metabolic profiles correlated with bacterial organisms known to play a role in the pathogenesis of pneumonia in HIV- infected individuals.

TL;DR: It is found that there are fungi in both the healthy and diseased respiratory tract, that these fungi vary widely between individuals, and that there is a trend toward lower fungal diversity among individuals with disease.
